More than five million Indian Americans now call the United States home, and the community’s visibility in public life has never been greater.
That visibility brings new challenges: bias and hate incidents, misrepresentation in media, and vulnerabilities across identity, faith, caste, and gender. Yet there is no central place to report discrimination, seek support, or learn one’s rights.
The Indian American Civil Liberties Project, an initiative of Indiaspora, is being built to fill that gap. Our vision is an America where Indian Americans live with dignity, safety, and belonging.
